Bowl Projections - From Me

Remember this are just for fun. For the record, my true Chick-fil-A Bowl projection was USCe vs. Clemson, but I just can't see the organizers doing it (since they play the last week of the season). So I flopped that bowl with the Outback in the SEC pecking order.

Filling in the MAC and Sun Belt teams is always a chore. So if some stuff looks off, it might well be. The MAC tends to wait to see where bowls need at-large fill-ins and see if they can get a better matchup for one of their better schools.

Certainly possible. OU and Clemson could both get a bid if Stanford loses next week to UCLA and Oregon wins the Civil War. Oregon would go to the Rose (if they win the Pac-12 title game), Clemson would go to the Fiesta, and Oklahoma to the Sugar.

Given that VT is still not bowl eligible (though they should beat Virginia next week to become so) and that the Belk Bowl picks two spots ahead of the Independence Bowl, are you sure they would pick VT ahead of a more local NC State?

(Normally I don't care about the minor bowls except that I like shopping at Belk so this is my favorite minor bowl besides Chick-Fil-A).
